We’ve got some exciting news to share – a huge congratulations to Sophie for completing the Manchester Marathon!
On Sunday, 19th April, Sophie laced up her trainers and took on all 26.2 miles of the famous course, crossing the finish line in a brilliant 5 hours and 25 minutes. What an incredible achievement.
But this wasn’t just about the medal (though we’re definitely going to make her wear it to the office). Sophie ran every step of the way in support of Samaritans, a cause incredibly close to her heart. After losing her Uncle John in 2017 and her best friend Ethan in 2021, Sophie wanted to do something meaningful in their memory – and to help others who might be struggling in silence.
Samaritans do extraordinary work, offering a safe, non-judgemental ear to anyone who needs someone to listen, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Sophie’s efforts will help make sure that lifeline stays open for the people who need it most.
The whole team here at Rockett Home Rentals couldn’t be prouder of you, Sophie. The training, the early mornings, the determination on the day – and all for such a powerful reason. You’re an absolute star.
